AppleShare file sharing services
AppleShare file sharing services allow users with AppleShare Client software to access shared files on the Web & File Server.
Unlike FTP file sharing, AppleShare file sharing allows users to open the applications and shared files on the server. FTP is strictly for transferring files between the client and server. For more information, see FTP services.

Create the AppleShare client log-on greeting
You can allow users of AppleShare Client software to log on to the Web & File Server over TCP/IP. AppleTalk connections are always available.
You can also provide AppleTalk service on multiple network segments using the multihoming feature of Open Transport. For more information, see Using AppleTalk multihoming.
To turn on and off AppleShare file sharing services over TCP/IP
connections, follow these steps: Click the File server button.

are connected using an access method you disable are immediately
disconnected.

Click the Save button at the bottom of the window.
You can create a greeting that users of AppleShare Client 3.0 or later see when they log on to the Web & File Server. (Users of older versions of the AppleShare Client software cannot receive this greeting. In addition, Web site visitors and some non-Mac OS users cannot receive any messages.)
Note: Users who log on to the Web & File Server via FTP receive the greeting that's stored in the FTP logon greeting file. For more information, see Editing FTP messages.

Client software, the user sees your message.
